This chapter explains how things get drawn on the screen. We also discuss methods a bit more and create a few methods for our game object.

4. Drawing the background

In this chapter, we actually draw something into our game. The background never changes in this game and is simply an image that we insert into our game frame. Understanding the x-y coordinate system is a pre-requisite for most game programming.
